Chapter 2: Chapter 1
In his office, Cassian told his butler, Mona, a middle-aged woman, to call one of his subordinates, Ken. Shortly after, the door to Cassian's office opened.
"I've brought him, sir."
Mona came in while bringing a middle-aged man wearing all black inside. The man was Ken, one of the members of his specialist spy squad.
Cassian told Mona to come out and signaled Ken to come to him.
" Master Cassian, I am at your service."
Ken bowed his head.
"Here, take it. I want you to find that man and report to me when you find him."
Cassian then handed Ken a paper containing the info he could remember about him in his past life. Ken didn't ask any questions, he just accepted the paper silently. He then bowed his head once and left, an action that showed how loyal he was to Cassian.
Looks like I trained him well.
Almost all of Cassian's subordinates are loyal to him.
After all, ever since he took over the Kenway family, the condition of this region has improved immediately, much better than when the previous head of the Kenway family was still in the position.
Furthermore, the treatment they received had also improved significantly. From their salaries, work schedules, work environment, or even guarantees if something bad happens to them at work. Everything has gotten better since Cassian took over.
Of course, Cassian did all that on purpose. He didn't want to be stabbed in the back by his own subordinates, after all.
If only they knew what Cassian did behind the scenes to achieve all this, their attitude towards him might have slightly changed.
Well, anyway, Cassian had made sure that they would never know.
After Ken left, Cassian then sent Mona in. This time, he wanted to do something that had been plaguing his mind since he had his " enlightenment" yesterday
"What is it, sir?"
Cassian asked seriously.
"Where is she?"
Mona put on an astonished expression, she had no idea what Cassian was talking about.
" Would you be more specific, sir?"
"Amelia, where is she?"
Understanding what Cassian meant, Dona was surprised. She didn't think her Master would bring that up.
Amelia was one of the former workers at this mansion, more precisely she was Cassian's former personal maid. But a few years ago, after Cassian returned from negotiations with an organization that did his contracting, he was upset that the negotiations didn't go as he had planned.
When he got home, he drank so much alcohol that he got drunk and raped Amelia. Amelia ran away the next morning and as unconcerned as Cassian was about the incident, he never made any effort to find Amelia.
But after experiencing the " enlightenment" yesterday, his personality changed slightly and so did his conscience. Since yesterday, he kept feeling guilty about the incident, he could barely even sleep last night. So today, he decided to look for her, even though he knew that it was now too late to do that.
Who knew what Amelia's life was like right now, but at the very least, Cassian wanted to know how she was doing.
Mona really didn't know how to respond, her Master had never mentioned this for years, and he was suddenly mentioning it now?
Despite having worked under him for years, but sometimes, Mona didn't understand what his master was thinking. She might not have a clear idea of what Cassian was doing behind the scenes, but she could vaguely tell what he was doing.
Even so, she never mentioned it. Because so far, the conditions in the Kenway region had arguably never been this good. For her, as long as this family and the people in it were fine, she was willing to do anything.
Back then, when Cassian raped Amelia, she was the one who repaired Cassian's reputation among the other servants working in this house.
She was the one who helped Amelia to leave Kenway territory, she helped Amelia with the excuse of helping her escape from Cassian, but in fact she only wanted Amelia to leave so that Cassian's reputation would not be ruined.
At first, she thought Cassian would be angry with her actions. But Cassian just said "Oh" with an apathetic face as if he didn't care. Dona was somewhat disappointed by her master's reaction, but she accepted it as a necessary action for the sake of this family.
So of course, she was very surprised when her master who had never cared about this for years suddenly cared.
"May I know why you want to know, sir?"
"I want to take her as my wife. If she is not already married to someone else of course."
At first she thought Cassian was just saying that as an excuse, but looking at his expression, Mona didn't think that Cassian was just talking empty words.
"Amelia lives in a village under the rule of Marquis Balloc. At least she used to say she would live there."
"Alright."
Cassian then stood up, put on his coat and quickly got ready to leave.
"'B-But, sir. Do you really mean what you just said?"
Mona was forced to ask again, after all, this action of her master meant that Amelia would become the wife of Duke Kenway. The wife of one of the most important people in the Bolgram empire.
"Yes. I will entrust you to take care of all this while I am away. The Marquis' territory isn't too far away, so I guess I'll be back in tomorrow."
"Aaaah! B-But, sir. What about the mine?"
"Just hire adventurers, about the pay, I'll leave it to you."
"Very well, sir."
Despite having been his servant for many years, but Cassian's actions this time completely stunned Dona to the point of making her usual flat expression crumble, and her calm way of speaking became stammering.
By the time she realized, Cassian had already left the room. Based on her experience so far, when her master wanted to do something, he would actually do it.
So if everything went smoothly, he would really bring Amelia back and make her his wife.
"Oh my goodness, whatever it is, I hope it will be favorable for this family."
In her heart, she prayed that there would be no trouble coming.
